Overview
About EoE Compatible
EoE-compatible scoring highlights foods aligned with common elimination patterns that remove the top six triggers — dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, fish, and nuts.
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) dietary management often involves eliminating common trigger foods including dairy, wheat, eggs, soy, nuts, and seafood. The six-food elimination diet is commonly used to identify personal triggers.
In the data
What the grading picks up
- Graded incompatible with an EoE elimination diet: egg is one of the six foods pulled in the six-food elimination protocol, along with milk, wheat, soy, nuts and fish
- Still graded high in dairy protein, so yogurt is no help whatsoever for a cow milk protein allergy, and it grades incompatible with an EoE elimination diet
- Egg is one of the six foods excluded in the six-food elimination diet for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), and egg white is the more allergenic part
- Egg based, so it does not fit an egg-free or eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) elimination diet

Grading
How we grade EoE Compatible
Every ingredient in the database carries one grade for EoE compatible, and this page, the checker and the app all read that same grade. It describes the ingredient as it is usually eaten. Portion size and preparation move it.
EoE Compatible is kept as a rule. In the app, an ingredient you would have to check the label on still counts against the day.

Method
Test it with a diary
Most people find their own triggers by logging meals and symptoms for a few weeks and reading the result back. Three steps.
- 1Log every meal for a few weeks. Type it, say it out loud, or scan a barcode, and it lands as a list of ingredients.
- 2Rate how you feel through the day on whatever you are tracking, whether that is bloating, headaches, skin or sleep.
- 3Read the pattern back. Every ingredient you logged is scored against the days you felt worse, and the result ranks EoE compatible against everything else you eat.
